latest update makes game almost unplayable on iOS?

This really only started happening last week, I think right when the game updated. But the slowdowns in this app have increased in frequency and length so much that I can barely play the game anymore. Waits for 30 seconds up to 2 minutes, or crashing, just to go into ANY menu-- it can happen at any time, for everything, not just a localized slowdown at the expedition menu or feeding Pikmin, etc.

Here are some reasons my app has frozen up within the past hour:

  • blowing the whistle to line up bud/leaf only Pikmin
  • entering the expedition menu
  • opening the flower planting menu
  • while planting flowers (this one often causes an indefinite freeze, and I have to restart)
  • viewing weekly challenge progress
  • in the startup dialogue, loading up the menu screen
  • feeding individual Pikmin…

…so pretty much everything. My husband isn’t having issues on Android, and my phone isn’t that old and has a lot of storage/memory left. This only just started happening sometime last week, so something in the update made the app slow down so often that it’s hard to want to play anymore. I deleted and reinstalled the app (there’s no option to clear app cache on iOS) and I close unused apps/have most background app refreshing off. Please fix this?

Yes! So glad I found this thread. It’s happening to me constantly. Reinstalling did nothing.

Literally just experienced NINE separate lockups/crashes within 30 minutes of starting the game. Sometimes it wouldn’t even get past loading screen bits. Other times it would crash right when I opened walk view. NINE TIMES. This is insane.

Does it really though I wonder does it really though I have to wonder :slight_smile:
